TeaParty Mass gov candidate Mark Fisher hopes to reduce “illegal immigrants” not thru enforcement,

but taking away incentives

Illegal immigrants may be illegal, but they’re not dumb. That was the message of Mark Fisher, a self-proclaimed Tea Party member running for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. “Illegal immigrants are only illegal – they’re not stupid,” Fisher told the Rochester Republican Committee on Saturday.

Fisher called Massachusetts a “sanctuary state” for illegal immigrants, saying the state spends more money on them than several neighboring states combined.

“When I become governor, illegal immigration becomes illegal,” he said.

Some things never change. "Self-deportation" anyone?
